[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1082324, member: 2736"] Distance does not make an ethical hunter. care for the sport and the game does. Most Long range hunters are far better shots than these Short distance shooters because they have to be and want one shot kills. Most of the short range shooters do so because they cant hit anything beyond 3 or 400 yards and they don't practice precision shooting or simply don't practice at all (in there minds,They don't have to). The best way to end the "Ethical" argument is to challenge them to shoot beyond 500 yards (At paper)that wont be injured if the shot is not good They cant say that it's not ethical. I fought the same battles while bow hunting and don't let the uneducated bother me about my ethics, because I know I am very ethical and sometimes wont take a shot under 100 yards because it is not a good one. As Joel says "Ethics/Character are when no one is watching". Maybe Len will chime in on this one, He has been fighting this issue since he started this site and could help others deal with the issue. Being old, when I hear these kind of things I just tell them to put up or shut up. Ethics are something that cant be said, it has to be lived. PS: "You cant fix stupid" J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
